 </span></blockquote>Here you are wrong Mike. Tho I give 0 credibility to that apartment <br/>
building story and Len&#39;s case involves administration, not <br/>
sovereignty, all Lithuanian border teaties establish that the border <br/>
in water constructions (such as bridges, dams, lake drains and stuff)<br/>
do not follow the border there vertically present, but instead go <br/>
trough the physical axis (middle) of such constructions. So for <br/>
example (and there must be a whole bunch of these cases) there&#39;s a <br/>
river, somwhere around the middle is the border line. We can extend <br/>
the border line to ground depths and air and it makes the <br/>
border &quot;wall&quot;. However there is a bridge suspended in the air and the <br/>
middle of the bridge doesn&#39;t match exactly the borderline below, thus <br/>
causing an iterruption of the border wall. A piece of Lithuanian <br/>
bridge slammed two meters trough the Russian wall and stuff like <br/>
that. Sadly, it is impossible to be in this disturbed border area as <br/>
it is only INSIDE the bridge. Even if you would try to make a hole in <br/>
the bridge, the hole would then not be a part of the bridge but <br/>
become air space and follow the normal border. Very weird, yes, but <br/>
this is not referred to in any terms of exceptional conditions or <br/>
anything, the border treaties simply say that BORDER in water <br/>
constructions is the axes of such.</div>
